Submit a comment to the blog by 11:59 pm EDT Sunday, May 17, 2015, to tell me which resources below are your favorites. One lucky teacher will win a 12-inch Time Timer and a pack of classy yet fun file folders. The Time Timer can help you in your classroom, during team meetings, or anywhere else you want to manage time. Use it with your students to promote efficient use of time, encourage independence, manage time, or simply master the concept of time. Show the visual depiction only or add the optional audible signal. Then use these black and white dots file folders—there are 12 of them in the pack—to organize with pizzazz. They’re reversible and feature a jazzy new tab design to make them easy to label. (Update: congratulations to Kelly, who is the winner of our prize.)

I would love to win any of the marvelous prizes. I could use the folders and the timer to practice our Dibel testing that is timed. The folders would help me organize my many files.
The Office Depot card would be so helpful in buying ink and cardstock for the memory books I make for each of my students.
The ElmerGlue prize would be used to update my writing and art centers.
Thank you for offering things that show your appreciation for teachers.
